I have always taken an interest in the nastier side of life, from keeping pet worms to animal dissection, so it was no surprise that for my degree in Zoology I chose an honours project on poo for my dissertation! Supervised by Elsa Panciroli (PhD candidate at National Museums Scotland and the University of Edinburgh) and Stig Walsh (Senior Curator of Vertebrate Palaeobiology), I micro-CT scanned carnivore faeces to study the bone fragments of prey encased within them.
